On Tuesday, Marvel Studios surprised fans by revealing the official title of its WandaVision spinoff as Agatha All Along as well as revealing the eagerly anticipated series' release date, but that wasn't the only tease in store for fans. Thanks to series star Patti LuPone, fans now have an idea of what the series. might look like as well. Speaking with Deadline, Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, and LuPone opened up about what it was like being on set for the series, with high praise for the set and costume design.

"The thing about this show which I thought was so thrilling that Jac Schaeffer who wrote it and also wrote WandaVision, it was very important to her and Mary Livanos our producer that there be as minimal CGI so there's very little that is not practical magic or just our magic so that was a very exciting something to set up that we were like able to prove again and again we could do it," Hahn said. "So, it's minimal CGI, but that was very thrilling. Sets are incredible … it just felt delicious. It was a very immersive experience."

LuPone then added that the production is very well done, so much so that the series looks more like a big budget film than a television series.

"May I say to that point, the set, the production design and the set dressers, and the lighting, the costumes, everything about it, it appeared to all of us when we saw it when we came to set that everybody on the creative end were at the top of their game," LuPone said. "I was telling somebody about the Witches Road how absolutely beautiful, we burst into tears when we got on the set and we saw the actual Witches Road. It's gorgeous to look at on top of being a fantastic story. It looks like a $100 million movie."
